Legendary Actor Vinod Khanna's Demise Leaves Bollywood Mourning

A void that can't be filled.

One of Hindi filmdom's favourite stars, Vinod Khanna, breathed his last on Thursday in Mumbai. He was reportedly suffering from bladder cancer.

Khanna was also the sitting Bharatiya Janata Party member of the Lok Sabha from the Gurdaspur constituency in Punjab.

Many prominent industry figures paid their respects to the "most handsome" actor on Twitter.
